Schlagermove: the event and its location
Schlagermove takes place with the big truck parade from the Heiligengeistfeld through St. Pauli and along the Reeperbahn to the harbour, in summer. If you travel to Hamburg for it, a private airport transfer takes you from Hamburg Airport (HAM) in Fuhlsbüttel straight to your hotel or the event site in St. Pauli.
Route and travel time from HAM
From HAM via Alsterkrugchaussee towards St. Pauli. During the parade the streets along the route are congested. For the roughly 9 bis 11 km allow about 25 bis 35 minutes. You see the fixed price shown before bookingos before booking, and it stays the same regardless of traffic.
Getting there on the event day
Along the parade route around the Reeperbahn, Millerntor and Hafenstraße there are wide closures. So allow a little more time than on a normal day.
Pickup and meeting point
At HAM you meet your driver by default directly after baggage claim in the arrivals area, waiting with a name sign (how to find your driver at HAM). Get picked up away from the parade route, for example in Neustadt, and allow extra time because of the closures.
Hotel first or straight to the event?
Both work: if you want to check in and drop your luggage first, enter your hotel address as the destination; the driver takes you to the site later or the next day. If you head there directly, you go straight to the event site in St. Pauli.
The return after the event
For the way back you set the pickup time yourself. The driver collects you at the agreed point and brings you to the correct HAM terminal in good time, even late at night when buses and trains run rarely.
Groups, luggage and vehicles
Costumes, wigs and decorations fit easily in a van; for larger groups there is a minibus for up to 19 people. For groups the group transfer to HAM is worthwhile: everyone travels together at a fixed price instead of splitting across several taxis.
S-Bahn, taxi or private transfer?
The S1/S3 stops at the Reeperbahn but is packed for the Move. A private transfer takes the group in costume there and back in comfort. A taxi costs a variable amount depending on traffic and time of day; with the private transfer the price is fixed in advance. More on this in transfer options compared.
